Hello! I have honestly been trying to register for this course for several semesters—success! I’m excited and trepidatious about the semester because I will be stretching myself right out of my comfort zone. I will be confronting my fear of outside judgement as I think aloud, so to speak. I also have to confront my tendency to obsess over tiny details as I design this site and write the blog posts—that is if I ever want to accomplish anything in this class and in the other one I’m taking. I’m hoping that I will be able to take the knowledge and skills I will develop here with me into public librarianship in my professional life.

Below is an image that looks a lot like some of my favorite memories as I was growing up. Lake Michigan is truly something special.
